Spurs freeze ticket prices but adjust concession policies

theathletic.com

Tottenham Hotspur has announced that it will freeze matchday and season ticket prices for the upcoming 2025-26 season. This decision is a relief for fans, especially as many Premier League teams increased their prices this season. Spurs joins Liverpool and West Ham in not raising ticket costs further. However, not everything in the ticketing update is positive. Tottenham made several changes to its ticket policies. For example, discounts for senior concession ticket holders will gradually decrease from 50% to 25% over the next five years. This move has drawn criticism from fan groups, who argue it is unfair and has led to protests. The prices of season tickets will remain unchanged, with the cheapest adult season ticket costing £856. Despite the freeze, many fans are concerned about the accessibility of senior concessions. While the number of these tickets will not change, newly eligible fans will be put on a waiting list. Additionally, updates include new rules for the ticket exchange system. Season ticket holders will earn a flat rate for tickets sold on the exchange, irrespective of the match category. Previously, they could earn more for higher-demand games. Also noteworthy is a change that restricts who can use the ticket sharing feature. Now, friends must also be paid members of the club to receive shared tickets, which some fans see as a negative shift. Finally, the automatic cup ticket scheme has been removed. Fans will now need to purchase tickets for each cup match individually, which adds extra fees and complexity to the process. Overall, while the ticket prices remain stable, many fans feel uncertain about these policy changes.
